Police Chief Frank Limon said the department will step up enforcement in this neighborhood and others like it where there are bars and clubs.

"We're seeing (a) different pattern of behavior, where violence is occurring around clubs people may be attending," Limon said in a statement. "We will implement a broader set of interventions that identify and deter the behaviors of these individuals. We will target areas and employ technology where violence is more likely to occur. We intend to employ our broad enforcement authority vigorously."

Two victims of the weekend shooting were treated at local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries. No officers were injured. The investigation and search for the shooter continues.

This is the second shooting in this area within the last month. A man was killed near a Crown Street nightclub in August.

"It would be a good idea if they were here on a regular basis, I would think," said one East Haven resident.
